Winductor has the necessary facilities for use in e-commerce. In typical e-commerce usage, the processing involves credit-card processing. Winductor can be used with various credit card processors. We have put together a page here for showing how Winductor can be used with Verisign Payment Services for processing credit cards in real-time.

To use Winductor in credit card processing via Verisign Payment Services follow these steps:

• Register and obtain a username and password from Verisign Payment Services.
• Download the Windows NT SDK. (This may involve sending an email message after you have registered.)
• Download the sample Winductor scripts Signio.s and SignioSample.s provided here (save with ".s" extensions.)
• Edit the Signio.s script to make sure the location of PFPro.dll (downloaded from Signio) is correct.
• Edit the SignioSample.s script and add in your username and password.
• Run the SignioSample.s script. You can change the various parameters and test. See the topic "Testing Your Configuration" in the Signio SDK Guide for values you can use in testing the sample with various parameters.
• Incorporate the SignioSample.s in your automation and/or CGI scripts (see the Winductor CGI Tutorial for more information on using Winductor as a CGI language.) A typical over-the-web purchase scenario could be something like:

      if SignioCharge() then
          CgiSendTemplate( "C:\Success.html" );
      else
          CgiSendTemplate( "C:\Failure.html" );
      endif;
  

  For simple purchase-and-download scenarios, typically you should use CgiSendFile or CgiSendTemplate, instead of CgiRedirect. This allows you to keep your payload ("Success.html" or equivalent) files outside your user-visible website, so it can only be accessed after a successful credit card transaction and not by just typing in the right URL.
• When you are ready to go in "live mode" and have changed your setting appropriately at Signio's server, edit the Signio.s script and change "test.signio.com" to "connect.signio.com".
